Newfoundland livestock farmers import all feed grain legumes. Our objective was to compare field pea (Pisum sativum L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] nodule formation, plant growth, grain and protein yield potential in Newfoundland. Two-year experimental mean pea yield was high (≈0.3 t grain ha–1), although lodging was severe. Vision soybean yielded around 400 kg grain protein ha–1 when seeds were inoculated, even with soil temperatures below 20°C. Despite reasonable yield potentials, agronomic adaptation problems mitigate against the local production of all common feed grain legumes in the near future. Key words: Pisum sativum; Glycine max; lupins; faba beans; inoculant

RCAT MatRix is a 2850 crop heat unit (CHU) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] cultivar with excellent yield potential, good lodging resist ance and tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate. It was developed by the Ridgetown Campus, University of Guelph, and is adapted to the 2800–3000 CHU areas of Ontario. RCAT MatRix was issued registration number 6000 on 2005 Nov. 01 by the Variety Registration Office, Plant Production Division of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Key words: Soybean, cultivar description

Seven single strains and a commercial mixture of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were evaluated in association with two early-maturing Canadian soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivars, Maple Presto and Maple Amber. Inoculated and uninoculated plants were grown in pails outdoors. Soil temperature at 15 cm depth was monitored throughout the experiment. At the V2, V3, R2 and R4 growth stages, whole plants were removed from the pails. Nodules were counted and weighed; roots and tops were separated, weighed and analyzed for total nitrogen. Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains 61A148, 61A196, 61A194 and 61A155 were similar in effectiveness, but superior to strains 61A124a, 61A118b, 61A101c and the commercial mixture in earliness of nodule formation, number and weight of nodules per plant, and in promoting greater root and top growth and plant nitrogen accumulation. There were indications that soil temperature may have affected nodulation. Maple Amber showed the greater potential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. This cultivar supported earlier nodulation, had a greater number of nodules, accumulated more nitrogen in the tops and roots and had greater growth than Maple Presto.Key words: Soybean, Glycine max (L.)

OAC Ramsay is an indeterminate large-seeded food-grade soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar with high yield potential, high seed protein and oil concentrations, and resistance to soybean cyst nematode. OAC Ramsay is developed and recommended for soybean growing areas in southwestern Ontario with 3050 or greater crop heat units and has a relative maturity of 2.2 (MG 2.2).

The tribe Phaseoleae (family Leguminosae) is home to many of the annual food legumes cultivated in the tropics. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.), Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.), Kersting’s bean (Macrotyloma geocarpum L.), mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), all belonging to subtribe Phaseolinae, and together with soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr., subtribe Glycininae) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L., subtribe Cajaninae), are important members of the tribe Phaseoleae. These legumes are unique in their use of identical root chemical molecules to induce the expression of nodulation genes in their respective homologous microsymbionts during nodule formation. Of those studied so far, common bean, soybean, Bambara groundnut, Kersting’s bean and cowpea all use the isoflavones daidzein, genistein and coumestrol as root exudate signals to induce the expression of nod genes in their rhizobial partners. Additionally, members of the Phaseoleae tribe are easily recognised on the basis of their tropical biogeographic origin, broad host nodulation habit, route of Rhizobium entry into roots, chemotaxonomy and use of a common isoflavone biosynthetic pathway, determinate nodulation phenotype and internal nodule anatomy, xylem composition and transportable solutes of fixed N, site of NO3– reduction and metabolic response of N2-fed plants to NO3– supply. These shared traits and their potential application for agriculture are discussed in this review.
